Okay My hair is looking stupid how can I fix it before school!?!?!?!
Okay so I have beautiful blonde hair with natural highlights (It's dirty blonde if that helps) And I was adding some highlights and LITTLE brown streaks but my Aunty gave my Mom bleach for the highlights and a reddy brown that in blonde hair turns STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE RED. So I was fully ticked cause I looked like Starwberry shortcake gone WRONG on CANADA DAY. IT WAS HORRRIBLE. So we used my moms grey hair stuff (brown coloured) to cover it. It looked prety then because it was darky brown with dark not to noticable red highlights in some parts. But...here's where the problem comes in.....MY ROOTS ARE COMING IN BLONDE!!!!! I need my hair dyed to match my natural colour BUT I dont know how to do that. Gettin my hair dirty blonde natural streaks sounds hard when my hair is dark brown :/ How do I fix this preferably without bleach but if I really HAVE to then fine whatever. How do I fix it before school starts!!!!

Bleaching is really nasty on the hair. I had to deal with this when the wash-out black hair dye I used didn't wash out!
There are two approaches:
1) What I did was to dye my hair every time my roots came in noticeably, in progressively lighter shades until they matched my hair. It worked out nicely, you could hardly see the colour change between the roots and the tips.
2) You can also get highlights that are close to your natural hair colour to help it blend in Get lots of highlights, in the top layer of your hair.

EDIT:
I assumed you want to do this yourself, because you rated the suggestion to go to a salon low.
Actually, this works really well. Up until about 2 months ago, I still had remnants of the black dye left. You couldn't even tell! It doesn't look like a big circle around your head, because you go with lighter colours every time you redye. It all blends together, creating a gradient from light to dark as you go down the strand. It takes a while, though, to get to the point where you're at your natural colour.
To do the highlight method, you just get highlights in your hair colour. It helps the roots blend in with the rest of the hair. As your hair grows, the highlights just blend in with your natural colour and lighten the tips. The darker hair will end up just looking like lowlights. Then you wait until it grows out.
If you don't want to use bleach or go to a salon, these are the only options short of shaving your head.
If you do decide to use bleach, make sure you redye your hair so that the roots match the rest. I had a friend bleach her hair, not realizing that the roots were too grown in: it turned out in 2 colours, platinum blonde roots with orange tips. So beware.

Call around to a few salons and ask who they would suggest for a color repair expert. Unless you life in a really big city you should hear a few names over and over again.
Make an appointment, pay the money.
